1st

I can’t even believe what I’m reading. It’s the end o’ days for real

damn if u going have guns they should be put up and out of the reach of children.

Give a kid a toy gun and they pull the trigger because it is a toy but they are going to treat a real gun like a toy and do the same….its not the kids fault…..slim should have been a little more responsible because he not home 24/7….he should have put it up.

Ey..thats crazy..first you kill your own brother..then a decade later your son accidently kills his brother..smh..and his stupid ass shouldn’t have brought the gun in the house! damn..if you gonna bring the gun in the house atleast check for bullets..and hide it..u do have babies in the house..stupid..ass..ooooooooo..smh@dumb ppl..

This is so wrong on so many levels. There is no reason WHATSOEVER for you to have not checked to see if it’s loaded. There is no reason WHATSOEVER for you to have a gun so easily available to children. There is no reason WHATSOEVER for you to have not been thinking when it comes to a gun.

I pray for both those kids.

accidentyly shoots his brother****** my bad

accidently*****..lol

wut goes around comes back around…..karma’s a b1tch

Who in the hell just randomly picks up a gun they found? The only good thing that has come from this story is that the father is taking responsibilty. But considering the fact the father killed his own brother, you would think that he would never want to see a gun for the rest of his life.

DAMN! I never seen Karma work that way…Tales of the Father i tell ya…

So he killed his brother ten years ago?

Now his son nearly killed his brother?

The dad probably did the shooting.

that doesn’t even make sense… this is some simple ignorant negro if he really did think putting something in a “corner” would mean the kids wouldn’t touch it… i don’t mean to be rude or crass but i think the i’m a bit more worried for the child if he does survive…

in saying that, i hope he does, but this person is not fit to raise no child

” The sins of the father ( and the mother too) shall be visited upon the children”. ALWAYS.

wooow….come on man!!! Thats a damn shame…you all took the words outta my mouth…it’s too bad that after that had happened to him, he allowed it to happen again. As I do commend him on taking responsibility after the fact, it is too sad to hear that it was his dumb decision to take some gun ‘off the street’ and post it up in the bedroom….

My prayers definitely go out to the 2 yr old boy…hang in there!

*that i’m a bit more worried for the child

This is sad. Lock ya strap up folks

Later with he found the gun or not… lets just pray and hope the lil dude makes it.

I’m so glad the little boy is not dead…..I will pray for him to get better fast, and his father should have already known, so he needs to be put away , he is a danger to those kids.

Roxie Heart

Thanks sweetie. It’s just a tragic situation all around.

@ Lauren

I agree. Hope the little boy makes it with a speedy recovery.

Tragic

At least the father is putting the blame where it belongs…himself.

Its was a mistake don’t take the father away for that. that would hurt the boys more in the long run

Okay I 22′s are a smaller strap but isnt it kinda heavy for a 2yr old?

Wow…that’s some wild Karma!!! Imagine how that must be playing in the dad’s mind. Wow!

The irony in that is scary..I hope this baby is okay and that this man learns his lesson FINALLY.

Sorry I’m not buying that whole “found the gun in the yard” scenario. He might as well tell the truth because either way he is going to prison for being a felon in possession of a weapon. A loaded one he kept within reach of a 4 year old at that. Moms could use a little time too.

Omg, this seriously is a tragic, tragic situation. I’m absolutely disguested and my eyes filled w/ tears reading this story. As a mother myself, all I can say is…I’d honestly probably kill my kids’ dad for being that fckn irresponsible. That’s sickening that you can’t think of your children’s safety w/ a damn gun in the house…let alone the fact that after what happened 10yrs ago that you’d even be anywhere near a gun again! It really makes me sick. Accident or no accident…this could’ve have been prevented and I hope he never forgives himself for this…cuz I sure as hell wouldn’t.

Damn…why I didn’t hear of this? And I am from the STL! hmm let me look this up!

anyway..this is indeed tragic! I guess history has a way of repeating itself! Maybe, God wanted him to feel the pain..that he cost his mother..when she lost a son! I am a firm believer of what goes around, comes right back around! I truly do! And I will leave that at that.

What kind of parent brings in a random gun off the street and just chucks it in their bedroom?

————————————————

The kind of man that black women like.

And while they continue to run after these kinds of men. The ones that go to school and get an education and refuse to dress like 11-year olds will be maligned as “gay”, “suspect” and “down low”.

It’s the uneducated jail-types that are giving the black women AIDS, not the “down low” ones.

In case you didn’t know, incarceration is the leading cause of AIDS transmission to black men, not some silly “down low” red herring.

Think about that the next time you feel like wingeing about “tight pants” and other such nonsense.

John

Don’t get it twisted..Brother, or White person! It is white girls that fall for brothers like him everyday, and all day! So..I think that you need to rephrase that!

End of days? Not for me. Fool father can’t protect his seeds, that’s on him. My days are straight and there’s plenty left…

Who finds a gun just laying in their yard???

Who picks up that gun and brings it into their home?

Who leaves a damn gun unattended in their bedroom with kids in the house?

Who shots and kills their own damn brother, and now thier son shots and almost kills their own brother?

This is some weird suspicious crap right here. It sounds like to me that the daddy left that gun on purpose because he knew the boy would find it and play with it. They need to take his ass BACK TO JAIL!!!

I pray for those children and any other children living in those conditions.

Found a loaded gun in the yard, That story is so crazy I believe him.

THIS STORY IS HELLA STRANGE

FINDING A RIFLE IN THE BACK YARD? MUST BE EAST SL

THEN BRING IT IN THE HOUSE AND LAY IT ON THE GROUND WITH 2 KIDS IN THERE?

THEN 10 YRS AGO HE SHOT IS BROTHER?

DAMN, DAM, DAMN

NEW GHETTO CLASSIC!!

“HANDCUFF YA BROAD” AT

HOW exactly is he taking “responsibility”…

He’s a convicted-felon WHO murdered his brother, did a 10-year bid, How ever the gun came into his possession (Tedchnically it’s his gun) and He willingly gave access to it for his kids by NOT-Locking-it-UP Somewhere that’s considered Extremely-SAFE… Hmmm

Correct me if I’m wrong but I doubt Very-seriously that ex-convicts for Very-Serious-n-Violet Crimes can legally-own or possess a Gun/Firearm… With that being said

Accepting “Responsibility” to me for this kind-of-situation would be Going to JAIL for At-Least Illegally-owning or Possessing a Firearm-Deadly weapon, Child Endangerment and Attempted Murder since the 4-year old couldn’t have possibly shot ANYONE w/o access to the gun

And if I’m not mistaken, Didn’t he admit to OWNING yet another gun SMDH at THIS-FOOL !!!!!

I am going to go home to my kids today and hold both of them and let them know they’re my world and tell em how much I love them, then will we definately pray for this family. I just don’t get what this world is coming to. Please let’s just pray and I hope everyone else in America takes all precautions to prevent this from happening anywhere else. So, so sad:-(

6figgaz the talk a foolish man…..ill pray for everyone…includin the foolish….its unfortunate that those whom dont believe in God will be too late to be saved on the day God sends his son for those who do believe……anywayz this accident was unfortunate but we have no place to judge somebody elses actions…things happen for a reason and its not for us to just sit back and judge one another as if we carry no faults or wrong doings rather big or small any sin and all sin are all equal. from murder to simply stealin a lollipop from the store. from judgin ppl and castin stones to kickin at are brothers & sisters( from blk white indian jewish etc.)when they are down and out….to soo many other things. God is the only and ultimate judge of anybodys wrong doings…so if you wanna help somebody open there eyes or become better…the last thing u wanna do is judge them or walk over them.

Umm let’s put on our thinking caps here. He is a convicted murderer denying possession of the weapon (presumably a parole violation) by saying he “found” it in his back yard rather than admitting he pursued the purchase.

Lock him up…I hope to heaven he didn’t shoot the boy himself.

Good points ELove and TJ-didn’t think about that…

Stop tripping on felons with guns. This is St. Louis. You must stay strapped because everybody else is. The problem is gun safety. It needs to be taught to parent and children. And don’t judge that man over the situation with his brother. Stuff and get out of hand easily between family members. It has happened twice, on both sides of my family, and none of the individuals involved are evil people. Just caught up in bad situations that got out of hand.

He admitted being no stranger to weapons, having gone to prison for shooting and killing his own brother during a feud nearly 10 years ago.

“Everybody’s got to change. I may have lost [my child] because I waited too late…if you’re a father, man, woman,” he said crying, “if you’ve got a gun in your house and you got kids in your house, get them out, because that could be your baby sitting in the hospital right now and you not knowing if he’s going to live or die.”

This is so sad. My prayers go out the the whole family.

Everyone with guns lock um up

This fool knows he is a felon in possession of a weapon. If he found the gun why does he put it in his bedroom. Please he knows a convicted felon is not suppose to have weapons. Also let’s get real if a fool in the hood ditches a shot gun on your lawn hmm. what kinda company you been keeping.

Unbelievable.

JESUS!!!

Uh……huh? (To his: I just put it in the bedroom!!)

Sad Story… I feel sorry for the parents and the children

It was reckless and irresponsible for the father to have the gun within the child’s reach but let’s not get on him too much. He probably feels like dying right now and is beating himself up more than anyone ever could. God bless both little boys. I hope he pulls through and his brother is probably traumatized, but I C/S someone’s statement that this is why I don’t believe that kids should play with toy guns because they don’t see guns as something dangerous. After a family member of mine was robbed at gunpoint, I actually filled out a permit to carry a gun, was about to send it off and everything but then I thought about my two-year-old daughter and it’s just not worth the risk of her finding it.

@lou… I’m from the Chi and I KNOW exactly what you’re talking about. Especially about being strapped for protection and protecting your home and family members

BUT the “safety” matter you mentioned is WHAT I can’t accept, ESPECIALLY with his prior knowledge of weapons… Him Pleading-in-Anguish about this Doesn’t-Do-It-Justice for me (That’s Not Enough)

And I SUPPOSE to get rid of My Proction because He WAS Stupid-n-Careless with HIS Child’s life (F-U-C-K That) He was The FOOL… Not Me

Wow!!

This fool needs to be locked up for this IMO! We all know he did not find that gun he’s not taking resposibilty because he’s lying. This really pisses me off!! My son is not allowed to play with toy guns and he’s 12 even when he was little. I think they send the wrong message & clearly confuse kids. If you allow a small child to play with fake guns when they see a real one how will they know. They won’t!!

sounds to me like the father is lying all the way around.

The father had the gun out while he was doing something illegal and shot the child by accident. He know figures blaming the shooting on the 4 year old will keep him out of jail and also prevent him from being dumped by the baby mother.

The father is wrong all the way around.

What a dumb f*ck… If you have kids why would you bring a firearm into the house? He needs a slap in the back of the head (Old School Style)

@ John

I disagree with your comments. Not every black woman is attracted to shady people or thugs.

Aids comes from everywhere, men/women that are on the down lo, meaning doing scandalous $hit!

Everyone should protect themselves when having intercourse, and there a lot of men/women that refuse to and are willing to take that chance their lives.

Anyway….. I hope that little guy has a full and speeedy recovery. If the father doesn’t learn from this mistake, there’s no helping him.

This is such a sad story, I hope that little boy pulls through.

This is the most heart-breaking case of irony I’ve EVER heard. This man went to prison for intentionally shooting and killing his own brother. Some woman, correction girl, laid down with him and brought kids in the world. He brings a gun he *found* into his home with the children. He never bothers to check for ammo… and now his baby accidently shoots his own lil brother. I swear, I feel sick.

I agree with whoever says he shot the child by accident. My 4 year old cousins wouldn’t be able to lift a gun let alone point it and pull a trigger. They probably wouldn’t even know what a gun does but that’s because we believe in raising children properly.

Just SMH at all this.

His lieying.

he shot his brother why wont he shoot his kid?

Very sad all the way around. I agree with most here: something doesn’t smell right about this story. Poor baby. I just pray he recovers.

This story is really bizarre. The father is very naive to the dangers of having a gun in the home with small children, considering his past. What are the chances of you killing your own brother, serve time in prison, be released only to have your son accidentally shoot his brother? Something needs to be done legally to insure the safety of these children.

Uh…how in da hell do you prounounce the name??? I just got a hemmorhoid tryin!

Second…why did your dumb azz leave a gun available to small children in the house?? smdh tragic!

In addition, his story does sound a little fishy. I as well believe he may have shot that little boy himself and because his 4 yr old can’t really fend for himself, he blamed him.

SMH. SMMFH.

thats so sad. where’s the mom, or where is the responsible parent thats supposed to be looking at their every move? just because that part of the room is “off limits” doesnt mean they are gonna keep away from that part of the room. he needs to close the doors and spank them when they get to close to wandering where they arent supposed to go.

my parents keep a gun in the house, they always have, and we’ve moved 2 times in my lifetime and i dont even know where their gun is. and im not gonna wander and look for it either. but, to keep my but safe i’ve got my own set of blades, so im safe

but still, this is sad, i pray for the little boys!!!

Woah, the irony of it all. He went to jail for shooting killing his own brother and then through his own negligence his son almost does the very same thing….WTF?

6am, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me god!

LMAO @ 6AM.

I am currently residing in st. louis. This happened in a small town in illinois called alton, not too far from stl and east stl….

when it first aired on the news i knew that the father was lying…

secondly i’m so sick of hearing stuff likes this.

st. louis just had a call to oneness and 20,000+ march to sto[ the violence, but there are those who are just plain ignorant and blind to the facts.

it’s scares me fam… i swear… th

@Lou in the Chi

I HOPE TO NEVER MEET YOU OR ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY…

OMG!!! WHY IS HIS NAME QUANOTHO??? DID HIS MOM PLAN FOR HIM TO BE A DAMN FELON?!?!? SISTAS CHILL WITH THE UGLY ASS MADE-UP GHETTO NAMES, PLEASE!!!

Thats CRAZY…Only because he killed his own brother!! Damn poor baby! hopefuly its not a bad case of KARMA coming to bite him in the a$$

Its6amHoGetOut

Saint Louis is NOT south…

…and to add most of what you are saying is true, but IMO geographic location has nothing to do with it. Ignorance is worldwide!

and….this didn’t happen in st. louis..it happened in Illionis..which is a neighbor of St. Louis! Everytime something happens near St. Louis…they always just say that it happened in st. louis! That sh*t sucks! That is why everybody think that St. Louis..is the most dangerous city..But really they are not reporting the violence worldwide! MY city..is no different from all of the other cities all over the world. People rob, steal, kill etc everywhere. It they didn’t..YOU wouldn’t have 48 hours, Cops, Forensic Files, Justice Files, Investigative Report, America’s Most Wanted, and Unsolved Mysteries on Television.

oh yeah…and I survived.

DAMN BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES TO KNOW THATS 2 INNOCENT LIVES WERE HELD IN THE HANDS OF THIS MAN–PRAYERS FOR THE LIL’ ONES–HE’LL GET WHATS COMIN’ TO HIM IF THE COURT DECIDES TO SNATCH HIS KID(S) AWAY FROM HIM YO

3 words..child protective services

@ Sugarwalls,

Awwwwwww why so upset ho? have you now come to the conclusion that RKelly will be convicted? What are you gonna do now that 1/2 her family says its her, but the other 1/2 who accepted Rkelly’s bribes are lying in court? The jury aint that dumb b*tch!

So when they say “guilty” how many of you unattractive massive heffas are gonna riot?

You cant stampede because 200 plus pound b*tches cant run, so i guess you’ll just block traffic huh?

Are you that stupid b*tch who said she used to let some 23 year old n*gga f*ck her when she was 14 just for “now/later money? No wonder you can relate to a statutory rapist!

wow….if thats not karma I don’t know what is….that is just sad….

Damn. Some people have no business taking care of children.

he is a damn fool. if he founfd the gun in his yard. why the hell would you keep it? you have no idea what murder’s that gun is linked to. He should have taken to the police station. That was entirely his fault. If you own a gun and have children in the house. There should be no way that child ever knows ao finds that gun

OOPS.. I mean Alton, Illionis!

Illinois

SO SAD..THE FATHER IS TO BLAME,WHY WOULD HE EVER BRING IN A STRAY GUN OFF THE STREETS?ESPECIALLY NOT CHECKING IF ITS LOADED OR NOT! SMH

sad to say but that gun probaly wasnt stray 9 times out of 10 it was his if someone finds a gun they gonna examine it and see if its loaded because they gonna think they came up, its just sad that the karma came back on him with his own kids
